1) Solid staff writing porn name. Luke DeCock, classic. 2) Watch he'll get suspended for the Carolina game.

i'm glad i got to hear that, but at the same time want whoever recorded that to get a swift kick to the balls for having it leaked to the mediai'm so conflicted
2/21/2012 8:35:37 AM
yeah i disagree. the media having that is a good thing.no press is bad press. we need something to rally behind...who better than our head coach?
2/21/2012 8:41:30 AM
I agree...the media having it isnt a bad thing...besides, whats the ACC going to try to do? Theyve set precedence here...if they try to do anything to Gottfried beside reprimand for "not following protocol" then there will be an even more public outcry.
2/21/2012 8:43:21 AM
what did he say? the video doesnt work anymore
2/21/2012 8:43:35 AM
He really didn't say anything that was too harsh. He said he thought the reprimand was weak. He said he thought it was wrong that the ACC was standing behind an official instead of standing behind two ACC greats. He said that two ACC greats were embarrassed and wronged and that they didn't deserve that. The worst thing he said is that he thought the official shouldn't have "rabbit ears" like that during a game. I loved it. Sure he's pandering to his fanbase, but he's hyping up the fans (and presumably the players in turn), and he did so without saying anything too pointed or negative. The ACC won't have a leg to stand on if they try to ding him for this, and Yow won't have anything to say because she agrees with him.
2/21/2012 8:49:35 AM
I think it's awesome that the video got out there. Whats the ACC going to do? Reprimand Gottfried? There is no way they suspend him over this, though that would be epically hilarious.
2/21/2012 8:54:28 AM

pretty lame turnout
2/21/2012 9:04:46 AM
I'm confused about where, how, why he was there with a mic.
2/21/2012 9:17:32 AM
^ram roast?
2/21/2012 9:22:14 AM
If that was it, yeah...lame turnout. So few people it didn't even register as a possibility.
2/21/2012 9:28:33 AM
There is a rule you can't talk about officiating, but is there one about talking about the conference? I doubt it, I mean if you can say good things, you should also be able to criticize. He wasn't commenting on officiating here, he was bitching about our weak ass conference "leadership".
2/21/2012 9:30:35 AM
I thought the rule extended to the conference in general. "Officiating" being used in a broader sense.Either way, it'd be a pretty horrible PR move to go after Gottfried for something that probably wasn't meant for the general public. Particularly if they do more than simple issue a matching reprimand.

2/21/2012 11:19:48 AM
Yeah, Joe Ovies loses some cred to me with that last line.I see absolutely nothing wrong with anything that transpired.
2/21/2012 11:53:25 AM
I agree 100% with Joe. There was no need to record that and post it on facebook. Was the guy recording completely clueless? It's exactly why we can't have nice things.
2/21/2012 12:00:33 PM
2/21/2012 12:05:02 PM
^ Meh...Gottfried knows that he can't really say anything in public without the chance of it getting out there. I doubt he's upset about it. Hell..he probably wanted it to get out. He's no dummy.
2/21/2012 12:05:53 PM
Captain Camera still didn't have Gott or State's best interests in mind when he put the video on facebookHe is a foolish sucker and you are wrong to justify his actions
2/21/2012 12:07:24 PM
Since everyone's seen it by now anyway
2/21/2012 12:09:09 PM
It's a pep rally. How could you not think that something like that a University sanctioned function wouldn't get out to the public?Besides, nothing bad will come of Gott saying those things. So considering that, I don't see it being a problem.
2/21/2012 1:14:06 PM
Some kid went out of his way to be a dumb jerkThat's all Ovies is sayingThis is why he hates you
2/21/2012 1:15:27 PM
Hopefully Gottfried won't be suspended but I wouldn't be surprised at all if word came in before 8:00 tonight that he couldn't be on the sidelines tonight.[Edited on February 21, 2012 at 1:21 PM. Reason : Just so the ACC can reinforce that they care more about Karl Hess than one of its founding members]
2/21/2012 1:19:54 PM
hah, i would be very surprised if that happened. i imagine the acc would like this story to die.
2/21/2012 1:22:27 PM
^^ you can't be serious. not allowed to be on the sidelines? what reality do you reside in.
2/21/2012 1:48:59 PM
The one where Tracy Smith was forced to sit out of an important OOC game for criticizing an official.
2/21/2012 2:01:41 PM
He would still be in the stands all like
2/21/2012 2:02:15 PM
2/21/2012 2:06:39 PM
2/21/2012 2:12:26 PM
he (the camera guy) risked coach being "reprimanded", or worse. that's not cool.
2/21/2012 2:17:59 PM
Who gives a flying fuck? It's not like he videotaped Coach getting a blow job from a co-ed....This stuff is peanuts. And you're fucking retarded if you think Gottfried is going to get suspended for something like this.
2/21/2012 2:19:28 PM
Well if he gets reprimanded like Hess got reprimanded it will be well worth it.
2/21/2012 2:21:02 PM
2/21/2012 2:23:09 PM
"I didn't like what Coach Gottfried said...but he's one of the best Xs and Os coaches in the nation"
2/21/2012 2:23:15 PM
2/21/2012 2:24:57 PM
Every coach has a contract that includes representing the school with high moral fiber and blah blah blah....So yes, that would be against the rules.
2/21/2012 2:26:37 PM
Thanks
2/21/2012 2:27:33 PM
i dunno about fiber, but it's chock-full of protein
